10 Simple Ways to be Happy at Work

Happiness does not come from doing
easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the
achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best. - Theodore Isaac Rubin

There is no
need to pursue happiness at work. It comes naturally to you when you possess the right mental
attitude and do the right things at the right time.

1.Organized: The world is in your hand
when you are prepared. Get ready a to-do list before you start a new day. When
you prioritize your work according to your list you are ready to tackle the
first important task in the morning with full force.

A tidy desk with a pot of
plant on your desk will calm you mind and allow you to work with focus. According
to an article,Plants in offices increase happiness and productivity,"What was important was that everybody could see a plant from their
desk. If you are working in an environment where there's something to get you
psychologically engaged you are happier and you work better," said Dr
Chris Knightfrom Exeter University.

2.Start early: You are ahead of others
in getting things done in the shortest possible time because you will be able
to work mindfully without disturbances and interruption. Upon the arrival of
other staff, you are ready to take a well-deserved break.

3.Care of your body: Do you go to bed
early so that you can get up early to greet a new day with energy? Are you
following a healthy lifestyle such as a balanced diet and drinking enough water
while at work? Are you thinking right to boost your confidence? Happiness is a healthy body and a healthy
mind.

4.Be passionate: Do you enjoy what you
do? Develop an interest in your work and work with your heart. It is a sure way
to be happy at work.

You do your best work if you do a job that makes you happy. - Bob Ross

5.Flow experience: When you are
passionate about your work, it is no longer work to you. You will immerse in what you do and forget
about the passage of time.

6.Be productive: You are productive when you are efficient and effective. You
think of better ways of getting things done by getting creative. An aha moment is the greatest joy of all at
work.

7.Be positive: Wear
a smile, walk with confidence and dress smartly. When you are looking good you
feel good inside and out. Be friendly and helpful so that you inspire others
and project a positive image.

8.Learn: Learning is a pleasurable experience. You gain more knowledge and
keep yourself up-to-date. Reading sharpens your mind to face challenges in life
resourcefully.

9.Expand your comfort zone: You will
be more comfortable when you solve more problems at work. Do more and help
others to be more competent at work.

All happiness depends on courage and work. - Honoré de Balzac

10.Gratitude and appreciation: Be grateful that you are trusted at work.
Show an appreciation of keeping your job. You walk tall because you are
gainfully employed and enjoying financial well-being.

The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without
one - Oscar Wilde
